Answer—When after the battle of Antle tam, Qea. McClellan decided to cross the Po tomac, I said to-hlm that in my loplnton he would never be able to take the army on that route beyond the Rappabaanook, unless he eueoeeded in fightingthe enemy at someplace this side; that if. he proposed to go to Rich mond by land, he would hare to go by way of Frederloksbnrg, and la that he -partially agreed with me. -After we had started we had another conversation on that subject, and several other offieers were present. \On the fith of November after the conversation, Oen. McClellan gave an order to Capfe. Brum, his Chief Engineer,to .have all tho pontoon bridges at Berlin and In that neighborhood tbatoonid be spared, taken np and sent down to Wash ington, with a view of getting thorn down, to thui time in ease he decided to go by way of Fredericksburg. The totter conveying that order wan written on the fith of November, but, as I understood, was not reosived until .the 12tb of Nfivsmber. On the 7th or Bth of Nov. I reoelvedan order from thePresidentof . United States, directing me to take command of the Army of the Potomao, and also a oopy of the order relieving General McClellan from tbe command, This order was conveyed to me by General Buckingham, who was attach ed to the War Department. After getting over my surprise, the ebook, Ac., I told Gen.: Buckingham that It was a matter that requir ed very serious thought;.that I did not want the command; that- it had been offered to mo. twlco and X did not feel that I oould: roads, particularly bad* Horses, mules, Ac., take it. I counselled with two'of my stuff were sent down •to us so that our officers In regard to it, fori shouldthlnk an oavalry and teams were in very good oondl hour and a half. They urged upon me, that tlon. After it was ascertained that there I had no right as a soldier so disobey the or-; most be delay and that-the enemy had con dor, and thatl had already expressed to the oentrated inch force uto make It very dif government my unwillingoeis to take the fiealt to cross except to cross by a number of command. I told them what, my views wet* bridges, we eotome&oed bringing up from with reference to my ability to ezaroUe soeh Aquia Creek all the pontooos we eould, after command, which views were those I had al« enough of them had been bronghtsp to build ways hureservedty expressed; that Iwu not bridges, we called several oounelU of war to competent to command saoh a targe army as deride about crossing the Reppahanneok. It this.-I had said the same over and over again wu first derided to erose down at Skenkeris to tho President and Secretary of War, and Neck,)2.miles below here, but ohr'demoft-i ,also, that if matters could be satisfactorily stration was simply for the purpose of draw-' arranged with Gen. MeClellan, I thought he lug down there as large a force of the enemy oonltl. command-the Army, of the Potomee as »possible: I then derided * to cross better than any other General in IL But they here because, in the first > ptsoe I had studied the subject more than I had, and felt satisfied that they did not expect as to knew more about their obligations to General erose bore, bat down below. In the next McClellan than I did. There had been some place I fell satisfied that this was the place to conversation with regard to the; removal of fight the most derisive battle, because If we General McClellan when be was briogtng oonld divide their forces by penetrating their away his army from Bafore Riebmond. The lines at-one er two points, separating their first of these conversations with the President left from their right, then a vigorous attaok and Secretary or War occurred at that time, with tbe whole army would succeed in break end then after Gen.

After rewblog bare, I saw At once that there was no cbAOce of crossing the ReppAhtanook with the Army At that time. It oommenoed ralnlug, end tbe river began to raise, not to any great extent, but didn't knowhow much It would rise. There were no meaus-of by going up to tbe fords, and U would be Impossible te do that, because of the Inability to supply the troops after crossing, i General Bumner, with bis command, arrived here In advance, lie sent to me, asking if oross the river; he wai very much tempted to take bis own aoross to Fredericksburg, by tbe ford near Falmouth, as there was so enemy there, exoept a very small force* I did not thlnk.lt advisable that he should cross at that time. TbepUn I bad in contemplation was, if the stores and those bridges : bad. eome here, as ;I had expected, to General Sumner's whole corpe. across the Rap pahannock, fill tbe wagons with as many small stones as we could,, and having beef cattle along for meat, then to make s rapid movement down in the direction of Rtehmoad, and try toi meet the-enemy and fights battlo before Jackson could make a junction there. Wo knew that Jackson was in the valley, and fait: that there was force enough on the Upper Rappahannock to takp care of him. We felt oextein that as soon as the enemy knew of our crossing down,, the force of Jackson would be recalled, and wo wanted to meet their ffiree and beat it before Jaokson could makes junotlen with them, or before Jackson could como down en our fiaak aid perhaps enpple us. 1 bad raeommendod that some supplies should be seat to the month of the Rappahannock, with the view of estab lishing a depot-at Fort Royal. After we had advanced to Fredericksburg, kfier tha first delay starting the pontoons, I think they were sent on as quickly as eould have been, and the supplies and quartermasters* stores have been always la as greatabundanoeas we could have expeoted. 1 After the 19tn of November the weather and ifce befi of "my ability.

I expected bridges would be built in two or. three hopr* after, they were unloaded whlon was about daylight, In stead of that, those\ on the; right- were not buiUuotU3 r»a., and I had only means of gettiog across Division One. .The bridges on* the right of Gan. Franklin were, built abeut noon and held.by ouritroop* on tbeopposite bank. *’ This gave tbeUnemy time to acoumtr late their forces, •wblkb ’strengthened along the river from Port Rdyil up to the battle • field, and before I wasfable to order an attack -and whilst, the .man were hare undoing the -bridges and patting them into the water tho enemy's sharpshooters opened a very heavy fire .from the town aod out of the batteries we opened upon the -town /with a view; U silencing them. In this manner the bridges were built aboot two-third* of their length, at which time the bridge builders were driven off and had to shelter under the bank. Repeated efforts-worn made .to get these bridges bmlt oat to the ends-of the .bridges with necessary) materiels, bat all fell ed. Itwai then reported'to methatltwas impossible to baild tho bridge under that fire, and that the shamahootertooald not bodriven oot of the town by Wo had-143 guns In position, the-largest proportion of which were playing up in the town. I said to the officers who hadreported to me that It was impossible to baild the bridges, that .they mnst beboilt, and tbat some plan most be de vised for getting those sharpshooters out of the way. ’• ' \ - UponooDsaitibg with Gen.' or Artillery, and Gen. Woodbury, of the Engi neers, it Was agreed to fill the boats with opr men, rpn quick!v acrois under fire,'throw them on tbe bsnk, and let them go .op into the streets and booses and drive the sharp shooters away.

Every menwhote permited to ride a horse, should be compelled by doty, if be has not thabnmanlty and moral principle, to toe that the horse has every eere lin hit potrer to give; that he isproperiy groomed and fed. The manner ta which food is given, when only a sufficiency Is allowed, is highly important, as mach u wasted and trampled under foot. -1 believe, for a winter campaign, a saddle blanket, to cover the ;baok and loins of the horse, to. be left off when the saddle is removed, would be of great service. 41 The Arabs, who lire more wUh-Ue.horse -than any other people, and who . are older la* ; horsemanship than any other nation in the ; world, never remove the saddle from the ; houses back when on-a long journey. Their ’saddleshave always .blankets attached that oover the book and loins of the horse.:: They argue that this vital part,- when heated by > riding, should never be made to feel the effects •of cold. As onewho loves the horse,who appreciates his intelligence and keen sensibilities; and can anticipate his wants,"-Ido-moat deeply deplom the direction'of spirit, suffering,and ' lossjof life, consequent upon the exigencies of . warj but while war rages this law must con* tlnoe. In an army, fifty thousand hones sub jected to the service tad exposure of thei army, there must necessarlly-be a large percentage of disabled vid diseased horse*, constantly . -: .

He is not invincible to : exposure, whloh he can' scarcely bear as well as man, and. with.whom he must suffer alike, if not mere, in time of war. I am happy to see the extensive hopitals lately erected in to restore the disa bled horses. I believe they are oondueted on the best and mostcoooomleri prineiplet,and will, I have so doubt, bo the means of restor ing, thousands of horses to the army that will be better on their second service than they wesson their first. - • • Hoping the Government will as an: act of humanity as well as eoonomloal use every ef fort in its power forthe protection of.this' noble animal..
